Im thinking it had to have been changed a couple times when brought to a repair shop for other things or something.

This cannot be true at all. RX-7's combustion chambers are on both sides of the "rings" so they have to inject oil into the combustion chamber. Therefore from factory they burn oil. After 1 year there would be no oil in that car.

Also as for not changing your oil for 110,000 that is complete bullshit. No matter if Honda built a miracle motor the properties of the oil is what causes you to need to change the oil. After a certain amount of time the heat breaks down the oil and causes it to loose its lubricating properties.

I never owned a brand new car in my life but if I did, I would at least take care of it and change the oil. Don't be a dumbass

Plus, there are no needed tune-ups for the first 110,000 miles


That is what it says at the link you gave. TUNE-UPS are not oil changes. Oil changes are routine maintainence.

Not only does oil break down, but your engine ingests quite a bit of dirt. After all the dirt settles into the oil, if forms sludge and....well, sludge doesn't lubricate very well.
